The Inheritance is a horror movie that surprised me. Not because it’s amazing, but because it’s better than expected, especially after the first act’s kind of lugubrious pace. So I’m giving it a bump for the jump… it earns an … Continue reading
Longlegs is often a head-scratcher and surely it will reveal all its spooky cards on second viewing… once you know the madness to come and can spot the clues. Or maybe not. I am, however, scratching my head still. The … Continue reading
MaXXXine felt more like a direct sequel to Pearl than X… which is a plus for me since I loved Pearl but am very, very lukewarm on X. But it’s in active communication with both films and ideally you should … Continue reading
Lowlifes is one you’ve seen before… at least to begin with. City folk on vacation take a wrong turn and encounter some backwoods lowlifes. Soon games are being played and the blood flows. Only this one has a surprise that … Continue reading

Exhuma is an interesting take on a ghost story from South Korea. It involves shamanistic practices that I’m highly unfamiliar with… enough so that I’m not even sure if they are based on actual Korean beliefs or just made up … Continue reading
The Watchers is what happens when a deeply stupid script full of people who barely act like people meet a pretty good eye for visuals. This movie is capital D dumb… poorly written and full of ADR to, I guess, … Continue reading
